Fellow Seibertronian Latyrx7 has shared with us some fairly surprising news at Chinajoy 2016 from Tencent Games, via MMOculture: apparenty, Hasbro has officially licensed an actual MMO for the Transformers, under the name Transformers Online, and we have a demo clip (in Chinese) and the launch trailer. While not much more information has surfaced, it looks as though elements of the Cybertron games and Age of Extinction, and perhaps even Rise of the Dark Spark have made it into this new game. Take a look at the clips, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Over at ChinaJoy 2016, Tencent Games dropped a bombshell by revealing Transformers Online, which is based on the official IP under Hasbro. The teaser site was first discovered earlier this week, although no one could really point out what game Tencent was teasing. Over at the exhibition halls of ChinaJoy, a business day attendee managed to record a short gameplay demo video, which can be seen below.

Okay....PASS!

Nope just Optimus Prime's design everything else seems to be generations based.

Eh, I'd be interested if it was all movie. Optimus looks great.

Oh and if it wasn't an FPS. Can't stand those. I like to see my character. And know where his/my feet are.

It has Movie Optimus' design; which isn't surprising considering China, but I'll just have to begrudgingly tolerate it. Otherwise it looks pretty cool beans; liking that Megsy design

Looks like just another generic MOBA, but with Transformers. After the Jagex MOBA failed (Transformers Universe) I would have thought they'd go for a real MMO with real customization that people kept asking for.

Some more videos about the game.

I wonder why they chose Dead End in particular to be the Engineer/Torbjörn type character? I'd have picked a Constructicon for that role personally. Either way that healing device is neat.

With Optimus, while I can kind of get the reasoning behind using the Age of Extinction design (Age of Extinction was a big hit in China after all) I think it's a shame that the game designers didn't create something new for him.

I did like Transformers Universe from Jagex when I played it, but there were a few problems with it. I wouldn't mind an RPG aspect being included in any kind of Transformers MMO to be entirely honest. So what you said, that's my wish as well. Heck, even an MOBA with more intensive customization ability in terms of parts (arms, legs, head, body, weapons), alt-mode, coloration, and all that would be great. I wouldn't mind something like Fall of Cybertron's customization ability even, but more options basically. Also I would love if the MMO allowed you to choose which team you want to fight for instead of getting swapped every match or every other match too. I feel weird when I have to play as a Autobot. :P

We have more news - in the form of clips - from the Tencent Games MMO Transformers Online, featuring PvP, transformation sequences, gameplay footage and some actually quite nice character art for a character class showcase video. Check out all of them below, and head here for the official game site (mostly in Chinese)!

Agreed on that point. Definitely would be nice if it had a good longevity. That's actually why I was reluctant to try Earth Wars mobile game out. I was afraid it would go out like how Legends and Battle Tactics did.

As opposed to what another third person shooter or a hack and slash?

Those are pretty much the only action video game genres to use for transformers so regardless of what is chosen it will be generic since originality has been long dead and there will never be an original idea ever again.


Don't you have a pc or are you just using your phone to type on here?

After all the videos I saw the game reminds me strongly on a simplistic Unreal Championship 2 The Liandri Conflict game...

But I still hope that the game will also available on the International market soon or later.

Hello Seibertronians! As you might recall, an announcement was made a few months ago detailing the release of a brand-new, Transformers themed, OverWatch-style MMO First Person Shooter. Since then, the game has entered it's 3rd closed Beta, and has apparently undergone some improvements, or so reports the site MMOCulture. These include improved graphics and a better user interface, which both provide an obvious difference to the game since the first videos of the game surfaced. Of course, no plans have been revealed for release of this game outside of China, but, if it does well enoughin it's home market, a wider-spread release is probable. Especially when considering the massive popularity of games like Overwatch and the inevitable popularity of Transformers 5 this summer in theaters.

You can see these changes in the gameplay videos below, which showcase four of the game modes available, Capture the Flag, Capture the Points, Escort the Payload (unfortunately not seeming to be the Payload), and Team Deathmatch !

I've never been fond of first person video games. i find them too limited. Like to see my character kicking all sorts of ass that isn't possible in first person without the camera going crazy. And also if playing as a Transformer I like to see it transform. oh well. I've still got plenty of challenge levels in Devasatation to do and the highest difficult on story mode. :)

So it's the (failed) Jagex MOBA, but with better graphics. A real Transformers MMO (not another MOBA) would be welcome.
